6 Pleasant

The beach has a good stretch of sand and offers options for dining and renting kayaks, but unfortunately, many of the shops on the beach have closed down and the remaining ones seem untrustworthy. The area under the stairs is littered and has clearly not been cleaned in some time, which is quite off-putting. A thorough cleaning is definitely necessary.

It was really good, although there were a lot of people. But that's to be expected in a great location.

The sand has a darker hue which makes me hesitant to bring my kids along. However, it's conveniently located near my place. It's best to avoid the beach after heavy rainfall.
